STATE FRBON. Trenton. N.fj, Jan 7.-(UP)-Bruno SlWJjS-fS:
Richard Hauptmann was sittir-j in ceil No. 9, a towel ! eminent bonds, around his neck and his face snothered in lather, when I through the bars came a voice & ying: “The execution has i been set for around 8 o’clock the n.-ght of Friday, January 17.” I
The prison barber lifted his ra-*—;------—j
zor quickly off the face of the man who murdered the Lindbergh baby.
Most men jump when told the day and hour of their death. Hauptmann merely turned his h^ad toward the corridor of the death house. There stood principal keeper Mark O. Kimberling. bringing him the worst news a man can get.
Kimberling wore a dark suit and had hom-rimmed glasses high on the bridge of his nose. The barber’s razor scraped away again at Hauptmann’s face.
In that tense moment Hauptmann was calmer than Kimberling. The principal keeper told about it later today.
"I can’t remember whether Hauptmann said anything or not,” he explained. ‘Maybe he thanked me. but Tm not sure. I know he didn't show any signs of emotion; there wasn't a change in his face or appearance.’’
The barber finished his job, wiped the lather out of Hauptmann’s ear and went away. Kimberling left too, and Hauptmann was in his cell alone, free to calculate the number of hours, minutes and even seconds that are left for him to spend among the living.
It was a melancholy place and manner for a person to receive news of his death. The sun never shines in the death house because there are no windows. Light comes in directly from a skylight, but it is so placed that even at noon it conveys only a gray, thick gloom to the prisoners below.

Clinical Professor Finds Asthma Cure
Noel F. Shambaugh. M. D., assistant clinical professor of medicine, has a new treatment for asthma, according to the American asocnation for the advancement of science which convened at St. Louis during the Christmas holidays.
The new treatment for bronchial asthma, which stops the strangling paraxysms of this common malady, is an upside down position assumed while the patient is coughing.
This coughing is preceeded by remedies to loosen up the lung and bronchial passages. It was found that an internal sweeping out, like dusting a room, was likely to relieve most of the trouble.
“Products of this infectuous process,” Doctor Shambaugh said, “are the causative factors in provocation of the asthmatic atack. When these products are not permitted to accumulate in the lungs and air passages thereto, the asthmatic attack never occurs.”
Dr. Shambaugh came to the S. C. campus in 1932 and his most recent contribution is already receiving the favorable comments of members of the medical world.

Clinical Professor Finds Asthma Cure
Noel F. Shambaugh. M. D., assistant clinical professor of medicine, has a new treatment for asthma, according to the American asocnation for the advancement of science which convened at St. Louis during the Christmas holidays.
The new treatment for bronchial asthma, which stops the strangling paraxysms of this common malady, is an upside down position assumed while the patient is coughing.
This coughing is preceeded by remedies to loosen up the lung and bronchial passages. It was found that an internal sweeping out, like dusting a room, was likely to relieve most of the trouble.
“Products of this infectuous process,” Doctor Shambaugh said, “are the causative factors in provocation of the asthmatic atack. When these products are not permitted to accumulate in the lungs and air passages thereto, the asthmatic attack never occurs.”
Dr. Shambaugh came to the S. C. campus in 1932 and his most recent contribution is already receiving the favorable comments of members of the medical world.
